The match between Uruguay and Canada was very interesting because both teams were very serious about the game, and both teams wanted to finish in the third, The match ends a draw and Uruguay won the match in a penalty shootout, even before the match I predicted that Uruguay will win the match and that is what happened, although it was very tough for Uruguay because Canada is very serious in the match and they scored a leading goal in 80 minutes which make me feel like Uruguay is going to lose the match and after 90+3 minutes Suarez turn up and score to equalize for Uruguay and Uruguay win at the penalty shootout.
I wasn’t actually expecting that kind of performance from both teams because some times, players see a third place play off as unimportant game. It was a different approach yesterday from Canada and Uruguay as both teams played with high level of seriousness. Although, I did not expect the game to end up in penalty shootout having placed my bet on Uruguay to win in a regular time of play.
I have observed how most games played in this tournament ended in shootout and I come to a conclusion that no team is small or can be underrated in football. Canada displayed impressive performance from the beginning of this tournament which I actually least expect from them. Congratulations by the way to Uruguay for winning the third place in this year Copa, I believe they can go farther next year.
Frankly, I was quite surprised with how this match went because I thought that Uruguay would get an easy win in this match but, what happened was that Canada played quite impressively and they were able to provide fierce resistance to Uruguay. Canada could have won this match if only they could have played calmly toward the end of the match, unfortunately, they looked very nervous when facing pressure from Uruguay, and that actually created an opening for Uruguay to get their goal.
